Sump Pumps

Sump Pumps

For homeowners, there is one small investment that can provide unlimited peace of mind and savings in any weather: the sump pump. When heavy rains come, a sump pump offers the assurance that your basement will not be flooded, destroying furniture, rugs, carpeting, electronics, appliances, and all types of personal property, not to mention sparing you the mess and cost of cleanup. A sump pump is designed to work behind the scenes so to speak, removing water from your sump pit before your basement gets wet.

Sump pumps come in submersible or pedestal designs. Submersible designs are submerged in water, which means it runs quieter and generates less heat, plus generally removes more water than a pedestal-style pump. A pedestal design takes up less space in your basement but is a bit noisier and has a higher risk of overheating. Sump pumps are powered by electricity or batteries. In the event of a power failure, an electric sump pump will not work. That's why many homeowners choose the security of a battery-powered sump pump. They continue to work whether your home has electricity or not. They also serve as a great backup if your electric sump pump fails. Suction port sizes can range from 1/2in. to 9in. Pumps are constructed of cast iron, stainless steel, and thermoplastic.
